course of people. Poems by Mrs. Mary Ash

Randall L Gibson, United States Senator, de-
lvered the Grafton of the day, and was fol-
lowed by jefferson Davis, who spoke
at length of the history of General
Johnston. In the course of his remarks
he said: after the war with Mexico, my
friends, he was appointed Paymaster under
the administration of Franklin Pierce, a
Yankee who never faltered in the maintenance
of States rights; a man who, in the Senate of
the United States, voted for every one of the
resolutions of Calhoun, though many South
ern Senators did so reluctantly. Thanks to
New Hampshire for breeding such a
man as Franklin Pierce" A letter was read
from President Cleveland, in reply TO
an invitation 10 be present at the
uWeiling, in the course of which he said:
~That General Johnston was great soldier,
and that from the time he left West Point TO
the hour of his death on the field of Shiloh lie
was conspicuous for valor, for military celeb
rity, and for the highest personal character,
must be fully conceded by all his countrymen.
The erection of q monument for the perpetua-
ton of his name is fitting testimony TO the
affection and respect in which he is held by
his comrades of the civil war, and may well
be to them q work Of the greatest interest and
satisfaction"

The Friendly Inn.

1t is to be hoped that our citizens will take
friendly interest" in the concert to be
given in Y. M. C. A. Hall next Thursday
evening. The ladies having the concert in
charge have endeayored to arrange an at
tractiye programme of amateur talent, with
the hope of adding something to the fund
necessary to carry on the work at the Friend
ly Inn.
The Inn is not simply cheap lodging
house for poor men, although that is its pri-
mary object; but the moral as well as physi-
cal welfare of the regular dodgers, is looked
after. Histories could be written of the
struggles of some of the linen with the appe-
tite for strong drink, who, under the care
which they have received from members of
the Woman's Christian Temperance Union,
have successfully conquered the appetite,
and become respectable and self supporting
There are at least twenty such in this city,
not to mention larger number among sail
0rs or travellers.
Persons can send to the Friendly Inn any
one who may apply to their homes for
nights lodging, and unless the applicant is
known to be professional tramp, he will be
cared fer. Seventy different men have been
lodged there this winter, less than one-half
of whom had the money to pay for the shell
ter. While it is not the intention of the So
ciety to encourage vagrancy, and they there
fore deem it unwise as rule to give free
lodgings to the same man for more than two
consecutive nights, there have been many
cases, which have seemed to merit not only
free lodgings, but food for week. This will
show why it is necessary to make personal
appeals to our citizens, and to ask their pat
ronage of occasional entertainments, that
this society may be aided in this as in other
branches of its work.
The boys amusement and reading room,
which is kept open during the winter even
ings. has an attendance varying from % to
40, with books, games, temperance songs
and stories, the boys are entertained, while
the several directors vie with each other in
making the evenings attractive. One even
ing magic lantern, another recitaIions or
refreshments, ETC., and for a time at least
the boys are kept from learning lessons of
vice on the streets.
With the pleasing programme and the de-
| serving object for which the entertainment
| Is given, Y. M. G. A. Hall should be filled
to its utmost capacity on Thursday evening

the ladies and gentlemen present to remain
and assist in the matter of recognizing
Resolute Lodge of Good Templars. Two
years ago this lodge had good membership
and was in prosperous condition; but Tor
the past few months, through lack Of inter-
est among the members, no meetings have
been held. However, enough remained TO
start anew, and Resolute Lodge is once
again upon its feet, ready to advance the
temperance cause in the community. Mrs.
u. w. Knight, Grand Vice Templar, Good
Templars of Maine, assisted by G. f. Spiller
as Grand Marshal, and s. s. Knight, Secre-
tary, initiated the ladies and gentlemen who
remained as members of the recognized
